WATER -水-

HUSH

Still fascinated by the dynamic nature of waters, I have a compulsion to stop and look down into the shallows and depths everytime I come across the sea, a river or lake.

This pair of paintings was a direct response to the force of water, rather than my MO - observing and translating over a long period of time. The result surprised me by its ‘Japaneseness’. While I do not intentionally express my heritage, I find no reasons to suppress it when it comes through in my work in various levels of subtlety.

BROOK - Serenity

‘Brook’ was inspired by minerally rich water passing through the Ystwyth valley (Ceredigion, Waes). 

The passage of time can be right in front of our eyes, in such forms as changing light and shadows, moving clouds or ripples in water.  Other times, it emerges only through gazing.

Without pausing, though, you can never see time itself.
